The Cross: The Arthur Blessitt Story, which documents the evangelist's 39-year journey through 315 nations, premieres tonight at the Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Fla., and at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. The $1.7 million documentary opens nationwide on Friday.
"When you finish [watching the film], our prayer is that everyone would either fall at the foot of the cross or take up their own cross," said Blessitt, who will ceremonially raise the cross outside Grauman's tonight during the Hollywood premiere.
The event will be broadcast live on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, which also owns the Holy Land Experience.
"This is going to be a unique and historical event at two locations thousands of miles away," said Paul Crouch Jr., TBN's chief of staff, who will attend the Hollywood premiere with The Cross director Matt Crouch, founder of Gener8xion Entertainment.

Last week as I was discussing the difficulty of communicating issues of faith on secular media, a Catholic friend of mine asked why the Pope had spoken out so boldly on the AIDS problem. It seemed to this liberal Catholic that the Pope had once again stuck his nose where it did not belong. Pope Benedict XVI made the following statement in Yaounde, Cameroon, "You can't resolve it with the distribution of condoms ...On the contrary, it increases the problem."
As far as I can tell, contrary to my friend's opinion, the Pope was right this time. In fact, his statement was not just a doctrinal position on sexuality; it was also a practical observation about a dreaded disease that the Roman Catholic Church has invested billions of dollars to fight around the world. I agree with the Pope that a responsible and moral attitude toward sex would help fight the disease. |
